  • 1. UCLA

Description

This reference dataset contains CT scanner x-ray source characteristics, filtration profile, de-identified patient image data and size characteristics, voxelized patient models, exam characteristics, x-ray tube current data, and organ dose results in tabular form from Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of abdominal/pelvis CT exams of pregnant patients. This dataset can be used for benchmarking MC simulation codes for CT dosimetry.
